I used the latest version of Ari Marmell's Spell Sorter spreadsheet to check the spell counts for the various classes' spell lists against the cards and the counts advertised on the decks' tuckbox back covers. The Paladin deck should have 45 spells according to the PHB's Paladin spell list: the...

I went through the full Arcane deck and didn't find anything missing except mislead. I'll check the Paladin and Ranger decks when I have time. Thanks for pointing out the omitted card, Grainger; I don't know that I'd have noticed that on my own.

I don't have a 5th-level mislead card, either. Edit: I've e-mailed GF9 to ask about this, too.

Astrosicebear already said it in the figurines of wondrous power preview thread, better than I could: (And anyway, the Hand and Eye of Vecna write-ups in the 1e DMG are just rehashes from Eldritch Wizardry.)

I just got an e-mail response from GF9's parent company, Battleforce Games. They confirm that the omission of "Concentration" in the duration entries was intentional, to save space, and suggest that all spells with "up to" in the duration are concentration spells. (Which is mostly true, though...

I've e-mailed GF9 to ask whether they're planning to correct and re-issue the cards for early buyers. Haven't received a response yet (and not expecting one immediately). I don't think they're all that pricey, personally: I'd rather get replacements for free than buy the decks over again...

I've uploaded a document containing all the errata that I'm aware of, along with clarifications and suggested corrections (mostly from adventure co-writer Steve Winter), at RPGGeek: http://rpggeek.com/filepage/109184/errata-and-clarifications-fan-compiled

That's how I read the wording: it says the figurine reverts "if you use an action to speak the command word again while touching it" (emphasis added).

I originally thought the concentration spells could be recognised as the only ones with "up to" in the duration (e.g., "Concentration, up to 1 minute", which appears on the card as "Up to 1 minute"), but there are spells such as etherealness which have "up to" durations but don't require...

Uh-oh. Which spell was it that wasn't designated?

The cards are laminated; they're glossy and smooth. I haven't tried writing on mine with a dry-erase marker yet, but they look like they should be okay for that.

Here in the USA, I got the 44-card Paladin and 46-card Ranger decks for $7 apiece and the 230-card Arcane deck for $20. I think those are eminently reasonable prices. And I have the next three on pre-order: the 120-card Bard deck and 106-card Cleric deck are $13 each, and the 110-card Druid...

The boxes are matte finish (though the cards themselves are glossy, since they're dry-erase). I'll see how they hold up in play, but so far I'm quite pleased. I like them as an option: I'd be annoyed if I thought I needed them, but they're a nice-to-have. And I don't think they're too...

I'm not Sacrosanct, but he mentioned "access to CS3" in an earlier post, so I'm guessing Adobe InDesign CS3?

They are not, sadly: the monster math was extensively re-jiggered after the end of the public playtest, and so the playtest bestiaries will probably be unbalanced if used as-is with 5e. (Though they do at least show how the designers interpreted the old monster entries' abilities, and may...

According to Rob Donoghue, the lamia's touch intoxicates the victim and gives it disadvantage on Wisdom checks, rather than draining Wisdom.

Lesser restoration only undoes diseases and the blinded, deafened, paralyzed, and poisoned conditions, and this isn't any of those as far as I can tell.

If you want to have both monsters in your game, you could decide that a victim of the illithid ritual becomes an ustilagor until it consumes its first brain (or brains with n points of Intelligence, if you prefer a longer wait) and only grows into a full-fledged intellect devourer after that...

Thanks for the reply. But aren't those the Pathfinder versions? The pages don't really say, but the cover images have the PF logo on the banner at the bottom.

Have these two adventures been pulled? The links to the D&D 5e versions on Legendary Games' own site are dead, and they don't show up in the DriveThruRPG or Paizo stores anymore (though it's clear from Google that they were present on those sites at some point).
